Founders Day 2012 report

I was invited by the ever supportive Vintage and veteran to run a display and sketch on their stand at Founders Day at Stanford Hall on the 2nd September. Founders day has a very extensive bike jumble and is well worth a visit. I had a great day sketching the ever changing roster of bikes Vintage and Veteran have, as well as chatting to people and drinking a lot of tea. Here are the from the day:

1913 Rover TT

(ink sketch)

These Rovers are few and far between these days and this is a fantastic example. I particularly liked the way the oil pump is incorporated into the fuel tank.

1912 FN Single

(ink sketch)

All original condition and in running and road legal condition. I fell in love with this bike and would have snapped it up if I had the cash, as it has so much history and character there is no need to touch it.
